Corbyn alleges UK ‘complicity’ after Streeting’s admission of Gaza abuses
British legislator Jeremy Corbyn has called on Health Secretary Wes Streeting to cooperate in exposing the United Kingdom’s “complicity in genocide” in Gaza, after the release of Streeting’s private messages in which he acknowledged Israel committed war crimes in the Palestinian territory.
Corbyn, a former Labour leader, sent a letter to Streeting on Thursday rebuking him for the UK government’s continued support for Israel despite the abuses that the health secretary himself had recognised in a private correspondence.
“The publication of these messages reveals a shameful failure to publicly say something you knew privately to be true: that this government was complicit in war crimes,” Corbyn’s letter said. “It is now a matter of public record that you decided to serve in the cabinet of a government that was providing military, economic and diplomatic support to a state that was breaching international law.”
Streeting, who has been a vocal critic of Corbyn and a staunch supporter of Israel, had voluntarily released text messages between himself and the UK’s former ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, an associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In the trove of messages published by Sky News on Monday – meant to show transparency over Streeting’s own ties to Mandelson – the health secretary argued last year in favour of recognising Palestine as a state.
“Morally and politically, I think we need to join France,” Streeting wrote in July 2025.
“Morally, because Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”
